INGREDIENTS
For the Biscuits
1 can buttermilk biscuits
1 can apple pie filling
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Icing
½ cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon milk
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the Pan
Lightly grease a baking pan or oven-safe skillet to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
2. Make the Sugar Coating
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and set aside.
3. Prepare the Apple Filling
Chop the apple pie filling into small chunks for easier stuffing. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the apple flavor and add warmth.
4. Stuff the Biscuits
Carefully split each raw biscuit horizontally, like opening a sandwich. Spoon a generous amount of apple filling into the center, then gently press the edges together. It’s okay if some filling peeks out.
5. Coat the Biscuits
Dip each stuffed biscuit into the melted butter, coating all sides. Roll immediately in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully covered, then place evenly into the prepared pan.
6. Bake
Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
7. Add the Icing
While the biscuits are still warm, whisk the confectioners’ sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle generously over the biscuits for a sweet finishing touch.
8. Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm and split one open to reveal the gooey apple-cinnamon center. Best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
Avoid overstuffing to keep biscuits sealed. Use oven-safe cast iron for extra caramelization. For extra richness, add a pinch of salt to the icing.
OPTIONAL VARIATIONS
Add chopped pecans or walnuts for crunch. Swap apple filling for peach or cherry pie filling. Sprinkle extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a crispier crust.
STORAGE AND REHEATING
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best textur
